Day 2 - Whole 30 recap


Day 2 - Whole 30 recap

Had a successful Whole 30 day.  As coach would say....VICTORY!

Breakfast:  Almond Butter (a couple of spoonfuls before my run)

Lunch:  Omelette

Dinner:  Spinach Salad and two chicken thighs (recipe compliments of Foodee Project)...yum

Ran just short of 8 miles to day with leaden legs.  Running on a treadmill has ruined me...the road doesn't move underneath my legs and that just bums me out.

Stomach is finally recovered from the Wendy's experience.  Won't do that again.

Got 8+ hours of sleep last night...

Observation:
Didn't crash and burn after my run last week.
Last week...I ran, took a shower and laid in the bed the rest of the day recovering.
Today, I felt much better.  Wonder why?
Well, I actually had things to do today.
Vacuumed, laundry, took Scott to Crossfit, brunch out with the fam.
I did have an unintended siesta while watching the Olympics this afternoon...but aren't naps a good thing?

Establishing New Habits:
I read a good article today about establishing new habits that I can really get into:
The gist of the article is to make gradual changes vice sudden ones.
You end up establishing new habits that in a sense is like bypass surgery...it creates a new pathway around the old habit.

Tomorrow's new habit...drinking just a bit more water and staying away from the incessant junk food in the office.

Whole 30


I'm trying the Whole 30 this month (http://whole9life.com/2012/01/whole-30-v2012/).  Starting yesterday (03 Aug 2012).
Eat paleo.

I've been about 60/40 in my ability to eat Paleo of late and I think my body is starting to convert to wanting/desiring good foods.  Last night, I had a Wendy's single hamburger with cheese (and bun) w/ a side of fries.  This morning...my body is rejecting this food.  My tummy is unhappy (I'll spare you the gory details).  This is more proof for me that I'm not built to eat this kind of food...anymore.

As I get more into this...doing more research and reading, I find lots of good support.

The Foodee project is my new favorite website.  It provides good info on recipes that are paleo.
You can add the recipes to a shopping cart which in turn creates a grocery store shopping list!
Very convenient!
